How to Apply for Haitian TPS

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Designated
Janet Napolitano  designated Haiti for TPS on January 15, 2009 in response to the devastation left behind by the tragic earthquake last week.  This means that 100,000 to 200,000 Haitian nationals living illegally in the U.S. may apply for benefits, including the right to live and work  in the United States.

TPS has been designated for other countries in the past and is designed to temporarily provide legal immigration status to eligible nationals of countries designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Not All Haitian Nationals Are Eligible To Apply For Haitian TPS

In order to be eligible applicants need be a national of Haiti, or a stateless person who last habitually resided in Haiti. In addition, there are certain residency requirements that must be met 1) Elligible applicants must have resided in the U.S. as of January 12, 2010 and 2) must remain continuously physically present in the United States from the date of the Federal Register Notice publication, announcing the opening of the initial filing period for registration.

It is also notable that the conviction of any felony or two or more misdemeanors in the U.S. will make one ineligible for TPS benefits.

TPS Registration Period Open For 180 Days
Haitian TPS registration will be  open for  a 180-day period only. The opening daet is expected to be announced this week. You should not attempt to file early as applications will  likely be rejected. Further applications must be filed before the final of the registration date.
